You would
patch your local admin/ directory, build, test,
etc., then once it works generate a patch, apply the patch to the
common/admin/ directory, and commit.
Make sense?
I think. Maybe.
When I build locally, does each module pull from my local common
admin/cmake? I remain unclear about that.
No. You would need to issue a 'git submodule update' command inside a top
level module (tdelibs, tdebase, etc.) in order to update any submodules
(admin/, cmake/, libltdl/, etc.) from the TDE server.
Do I have permissions to push to the common
admin/cmake? I tried pushing
some nominal typo corrections for qt3 and tqt3 and was rejected.
You should--make sure that you are committing/pushing from within either
admin/ or cmake/, not common/.
